Lately it has felt a little extra hard to turn the steering wheel than every before. I put more power steering fluid in because it had gotten a little low and it seemed to help some. Also I guess it could be from the cold? Any Suggestions?
Do we have good power steering pumps???

My two Foxes (3.8 liter and a 5.0 liter) had whining and bawling issues. Not heard much about 4.6's having issues--then again, the clock is still young on these cars.
My '04 is quiet as can be.

If you are adding fluid to a closed system, have you inspected for leaks? That would be a bigger issue--to stop something before it gets worse and you burn up your pump.
Misaligned belts, improperly tensioned/sized belts can cause premature bearing wear on all of your driveline accessories. Your pump could be the culprit itself.
I put power steering fluid in. I guess I should take a look at the owners manual. Also There is some fluid on top around the cap like it could be leaking some.

As for what fluid to use, the manual should say MERCON ATF.Kilgore Trout said:
At least that's how it is on my 04.

Slightly off-topic:
Has anyone gotten a bad steering creak? Mine happens when turning the wheel left. Sounds like wires tensing up. Dunno.
Happened after I put the bigger tires on.
